According to a <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/wr/mm7338a3.htm">September report</a> by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), vaccination rates among children born in 2020 and 2021 were lower than those for children born in 2018 and 2019. The decline was observed across “nearly all vaccines” and ranged from 1.3 to 7.8 percentage points.
The report also indicated that only 12 states met the CDC’s 95% coverage target for diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (<a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/whooping-cough-vaccine-uptick-not-preventing-transmission/">DTaP</a>) and polio vaccination in children. Only 11 states met the 95% target for two childhood doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (<a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/appeals-court-dismiss-merck-whistleblower-lawsuit-mmr-vaccine/">MMR</a>) shot.
Vaccine demand is also declining among adults. <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/covidvaxview/weekly-dashboard/index.html">CDC tracking data</a> indicates that as of Oct. 19, only 13.5% of adults had received this year’s formulation of the <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender_category/covid/">COVID-19</a> vaccine, compared with 17% in <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/over-15-million-americans-got-153424749.html">October 2022</a>. Only 15.5% of adults said they “definitely” will get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Demand for the flu vaccine is also dropping. According to a <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/07/25/the-years-after-covid-have-turned-into-a-post-flu-vaccine-era">July report in Axios</a> that cited CDC data, “Demand for flu shots is declining, “particularly among some of the most medically vulnerable groups.”
According to the data, approximately 47% of adults reported receiving a flu shot during the 2023-2024 respiratory virus season — down from 50% in 2020-2021.
The percentage of seniors receiving a flu shot was 70% in 2022-2023, down from 75% in 2020-2021. Among adolescents, the rate in 2023-2024 was 47%, down from 56% in 2020-2021, while among pregnant women, the figure fell from 53% to 36% during the same period.
According to Axios, the numbers suggest “vaccines may be falling out of favor in a post-pandemic world.”

‘We are seeing a march towards a vaccine risk-aware world’
For health freedom advocates who spoke with <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/">The Defender</a>, vaccines “falling out of favor” is good news.
Biologist Christina Parks, Ph.D., said “It’s about time” for such news — or, “well past time, because so many have been <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/vaers-undercounting-deaths-after-covid-shots/">injured unnecessarily</a>.”
Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., senior research scientist at <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org">Children’s Health Defense</a>, said the latest data suggest “we are seeing a march towards a vaccine risk-aware world. It’s a story of human triumph, as it would not be possible without the simple, yet dangerous, act of questioning authority.”
According to epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher, “We have reached an inflection point. A large portion of the global population has become aware of widespread <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender_category/agency-capture/">regulatory capture</a> and the immense harms posed by <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/covid-vaccines-dna-contamination/">genetic injections</a>.”
Jablonowski said the scientific literature hasn’t yet caught up with changing public attitudes. He added:
“I mourn the missed opportunity for scientific discourse to shine. Scientific journals still praise vaccines’ unquestionable safety while in the arena of national polls and corporate profit margins, they know better. State governments are stepping up to do the research that our federal government will not do.”
Hulscher pointed to the move by <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/idaho-health-board-defy-cdc-fda-covid-vaccines-clinics/">Idaho’s Southwest District Health</a> to stop offering COVID-19 vaccines at the 30 locations where it provides healthcare services, as another sign public opinion is shifting. The district’s action “will hopefully serve as a signal for other organizations to follow suit,” he said.
Last month, an official <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/slovak-government-report-ban-dangerous-mrna-vaccines/">Slovakian government report</a> characterized mRNA vaccines as “dangerous” and called for them to be banned in the country. Also last month, a council in a Western Australia town passed a resolution calling for the ban of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.
Surveys show more people believe vaccines linked to autism
A September survey by the <a href="https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/mediaroom/pressreleaselisting/vaccine-survey#:~:text=Other%20survey%20results%20found%3A&amp;text=%2D%20Less%20than%20half%20(43%25),%2C%20COVID%2D19%20and%20RSV.">Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center</a> found that less than half of adults (43%) plan to get a COVID-19 shot, while 37% of respondents said they don’t think they need to be vaccinated.
According to a July Gallup poll, 20% of adults surveyed responded that <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender_category/toxic-exposures/">vaccines</a> are more dangerous than the diseases they target, compared with 11% in 2019 and 6% in 2001.
According to the same survey, more Americans believe there is a <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/scientific-findings-explain-link-vaccines-autism-health-agencies-ignore/">link between vaccines and autism</a>. This year’s figure, 13%, is up from 10% in 2019 and 6% in 2015. Only 36% of Americans ruled out vaccines as a cause of autism.
Parents of minors were “slightly more likely than U.S. adults overall to believe vaccines cause autism,” at a rate of 18%, while only 29% of parents said that vaccines do not cause autism. The percentage of respondents who said it’s “not at all important” that parents vaccinate their children was 7% — up from 1% in 2001.
Support for mandatory vaccination is also declining, according to the Gallup poll, with 51% of respondents supporting it — down from 62% in 2019 and 81% in 1991.
A <a href="https://researchco.ca/2024/10/16/vaccines-canada-2024/">ResearchCo survey</a> conducted in Canada last month found 29% of Canadians believe parents “definitely” or “probably” should be the ones to decide if their children are vaccinated — a nine-point <a href="https://researchco.ca/2022/04/01/vaccines-canada-5/">increase from 2022</a>.
The survey also showed that 31% of Canadians believe there is a connection between the MMR vaccine and autism, a 12-point increase from 2022.
According to <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/3-charts-that-help-explain-how-americans-feel-about-vaccines-193851970.html">Yahoo! Life</a>, “These figures demonstrate a larger trend: changing attitudes toward vaccines in the United States,” citing “complex” and “sensitive” factors that are contributing to this shift.
For instance, <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/peter-hotez-calls-for-police-military-anti-vaxers/">Dr. Peter Hotez</a>, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and co-director of the Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine Development, told Yahoo! Life, “There’s been a steep rise in parents asking for vaccine exemptions.”
Parks said the public’s trust in vaccines “has been broken” and “people are now looking for legitimate alternative sources of information regarding how to best protect and recover their <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender_category/health-conditions/">health</a>.”
Parks said people “realize they were lied to again and again” about the pandemic and the injections that health officials told them were vaccines that would prevent transmission.
“People later realized [the COVID-19 shots] were a form of experimental gene therapy that did not prevent transmission and only gave very limited protection from symptoms following the first injection,” Parks said.
Jablonowski said, “<a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender_category/big-pharma/">Big Pharma</a> was operating on the assumption that if you repeated the ‘vaccines are safe’ lie enough, that it would become an undeniable truth.” Instead, as the risks of the COVID-19 vaccines came to light, despite the public “safe and effective” narrative, the “inevitable unveiling of the lie and the liars” followed.”

Vaccine makers cut sales forecasts amid falling demand
As public trust in vaccines has waned, Big Pharma is feeling the effects in the pocketbook.
Earlier this week, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/earnings/gsk-profit-rises-on-hiv-cancer-treatments-but-sales-slip-on-weak-u-s-vaccine-demand-524a65b6">GSK cut its vaccine sales outlook</a> for 2024 “due to weak U.S. demand” for its RSV and shingles shots. GSK’s vaccine sales were down 18% compared with the same period last year.
Last month, Moderna cut its 2024 sales forecast for its COVID-19 and RSV vaccines — by as much as 25%. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/moderna-reins-2024-sales-forecast-expects-very-low-eu-vaccine-revenue-2024-08-01/">According to Reuters</a>, this is “due partly to low COVID sales to the EU that it expects to continue into 2026” and “slower than anticipated” adoption of the RSV shot.
Earlier this week, <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/international/2024/10/31/merck-narrows-sales-outlook-with-gardasil-lagging-in-china/">Merck also lowered its full-year sales forecast</a> — a decline driven by decreased demand for its <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fda-brushed-off-concerns-dna-fragments-gardasil-hpv-vaccine/">Gardasil HPV vaccine</a> in China.
Dr. Jonathan Miller, chief of pediatric primary care at Nemours Children’s Health in Delaware, told Axios he suspects “the COVID pandemic and the sort of political milieu during this time has had a lot of impact on vaccine confidence and an increase in vaccine hesitancy.”
The Axios report also suggested there may be “confusion or vaccine fatigue” for some people after receiving so many COVID-19 shots and potentially getting RSV vaccines for the first time.
<a href="https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/profile/kai-ruggeri-phd">Kai Ruggeri, Ph.D.</a>, professor of health policy and management at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, attributed growing vaccine hesitancy to “a broader polarization and <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/3-charts-that-help-explain-how-americans-feel-about-vaccines-193851970.html">mistrust in authority</a>,” leading people to consume “misinformation.”
But for Parks, a growing percentage of the public is seeking “alternative, reputable sources of information.” As people discover this information, Parks expects attitudes will shift further.
She said:
“The whole childhood schedule is about to be rethought, and we are moving to a time when we will all know how to support our children in detoxing and boosting their immune systems naturally while ensuring lifestyle choices that promote the anti-inflammatory state need for proper infant brain development.”
Hulscher said people “should continue to disseminate vital product safety data despite the heavy winds of censorship” and accusations of misinformation.
They also should “continue educating at the grassroots level,” Parks said. “Those who are aware need to continue to educate themselves so that they can serve as a resource to others just beginning this journey. Everyone has to know the problems with vaccines in the same way that everyone knows that cigarette smoking is bad for you.”</div><h5 id=""><a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/authors/michael-nevradakis-ph-d/" id="">Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.</a></h5>Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D., based in Athens, Greece, is a senior reporter for The Defender and part of the rotation of hosts for CHD.TV's "Good Morning CHD."<a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/epa-final-witnesses-neurotoxicity-fluoride-trial/">This article was originally published by The Defender </a>— Children's Health Defense's News &amp; Views Website under<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" id=""> Creative Commons license CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</a>.

<h2 id="">Biological males will always have performance advantages over females</h2>A report to the United Nations reveals that 600 female athletes have lost almost 900 medals across 29 sports to transgender rivals.&nbsp;The <a href="https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n24/249/94/pdf/n2424994.pdf" id="">study</a>, “Violence against women and girls in sports,” as <a href="https://torontosun.com/news/world/number-medals-female-lost-transgender-opponents" id="">reported</a> by Toronto Sun writer Dan Bilicki, was presented by Reem Alsalem, the UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls.

'Women are gaslit into saying there's nothing wrong'

Democrat lawmakers in New Jersey just passed a bill granting government employees immunity from civil and criminal liability when giving children access to obscene materials at school or in libraries, sparking outrage among those seeking to protect minors. Predators, groomers, and perverts rejoiced at the news.<figure id="" class="w-richtext-figure-type-video w-richtext-align-center" style="padding-bottom:" data-rt-type="video" data-rt-align="center" data-rt-max-width="" data-rt-max-height="" data-rt-dimensions="" data-page-url=""><div id=""><iframe src="https://subsplash.com/+78fw/embed/mi/+bm5xtxm?audio&video&shareable&embeddable" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></figure>The so-called “<a href="https://njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/2024/S2421" id="">Freedom to Read Act</a>,” passed by the State Senate on Monday after it was approved in the House earlier this year, is being portrayed by Democrats and their far-left media allies as a measure aimed at limiting “book banning.” The lawmakers behind it also claimed it would protect librarians and teachers from alleged “threats.” &nbsp;Under current New Jersey law, giving “obscene material” to a minor is considered a felony of the third degree. Obscenity is described in the statute as any material that includes audio or visual picture or description of sexual intercourse, sex acts, and more. Numerous books being distributed to children in the state fit that description well.An example of the books stirring controversy in New Jersey is “This Book is Gay.” It includes, among other outrages, tips on how children can meet up with adults for homosexual encounters without letting their parents find out. The book also features detailed and extremely graphic instructions for sodomy and various other sex acts.Because of obscenity laws, which exist nationwide to protect the innocence of children, some librarians and teachers have hesitated before providing such material. Parents and concerned citizens have also warned librarians and “education” officials that they could be running afoul of obscenity laws by giving children access. But lawmakers in New Jersey think children need access to such material. “In recent years, public and school libraries have come under attack by a small number of individuals hoping to erase diverse materials from bookshelves, usually targeting works focused on race and LGBTQ+ themes,” argued bill sponsor NJ Senator Andrew Zwicker, a Democrat.“A library is a place of voluntary inquiry and provides equitable access to learning resources,” continued the far-left senator without acknowledging concerns. “Through the ‘Freedom to Read Act,’ local school boards shall implement policies that ensure our libraries still have an array of content while including the public in that process.”Ironically, protecting those seeking to corrupt minors with perversion and sexual fanaticism was portrayed by Senator Zwicker as a “defense of freedom.” Critics, however, warned that the legislation was an attack on constitutionally protected freedoms including parental rights and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.One leading opponent of the bill was Victoria Jakelsky, director and founder of NJ Parental Rights. In her <a href="https://libertysentinel.org/nj-democrats-seek-law-ensuring-children-access-obscene-material/" id="">testimony</a> before lawmakers against the legislation, Jakelsky read the legal definition of obscenity and warned that this “freedom” legislation was aimed at stripping parents, taxpayers, and the community of the right (and duty) to protect children.“This bill is incorrectly named,” she continued. “The legislation is not advocating for any right, except the right of state employees to be exempt from the consequences of committing a crime — a crime that could have lifelong implications upon hundreds if not thousands of innocent children.”Jakelsky, who has been battling the indoctrination and sexualization of New Jersey children in public schools for years, blasted the notion of giving state employees immunity from criminal liability for breaking the law. “Should employees of the NJ Department of Education not be held accountable if they commit this crime?” she asked rhetorically.GOP lawmakers denounced the bill during debate, too. “How exactly does a person distribute obscene materials to a child in good faith?” asked Senator Michael Testa (Republican) on the floor of the Senate, a reference to protections in the bill for those acting in “good” faith. “I don’t want adults promoting explicit stuff to children.”“I also think it’s incredibly telling that if some of these very same explicit materials were shown to a child by a neighbor, that individual would be charged with a Megan’s Law offense, and rightfully so,” continued Senator Testa, a reference to a law protecting children named after a 7-year-old girl who was raped and murdered by a predatory neighbor.Of course, many Democrats claimed there was no obscene material being given to children in schools. Testa was not buying it: “To my colleagues across the aisle that are so adamant that there is no obscene material being pushed in our schools, and that there never will be under this bill, then why do you need an exemption from the obscenity law?”While bill sponsors and supporters claimed it was the government officials corrupting minors who were being “harassed” and “threatened,” the reality is just the opposite. In fact, as The Newman Report <a href="https://www.freedomproject.com/2023/03/30/newman-report-73/" id="">documented</a> last year, parents who advocate for their children have been targeted by <a href="https://www.freedomproject.com/2022/08/22/newman-report-45/" id="">law enforcement, lawfare, unions</a> and <a href="https://www.freedomproject.com/2022/12/14/newman-report-60/" id="">even the military</a>.Under current state policy, children in New Jersey are <a href="https://www.freedomproject.com/2020/06/09/nj-adopts-standards-peddling-lgbtism-climate-hysteria/" id="">sexualized and indoctrinated with LGBT ideology starting as soon as Kindergarten</a>. From being <a href="https://www.freedomproject.com/2020/01/30/mandated-lgbt-indoctrination-at-school-begins-in-nj/" id="">encouraged to experiment with sodomy and other perversions to being taught that they can pick new “genders,”</a> the abuse begins as soon as government gets its hands on the children. It appears giving children grotesque and obscene sex materials is now a higher priority than teaching basic academics in the Garden State. Just last year, Governor Phil Murphy signed a law <a href="https://www.freedomproject.com/2023/11/15/tnr111523/" id="">eliminating a basic-skills test to ensure government-school teachers know how to read, write, and do basic math</a>. He is expected to sign the new obscenity measure soon.<figure id="" class="w-richtext-figure-type-image " data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align=""><div id=""><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/66450044188dfe741d77c31e/66c48379c2e05e476426cf76_3364780_1225x377_2500.jpeg" alt="" width="auto" height="auto" loading="auto" id=""></div></figure>Civilized societies have always used the law to protect children and punish those who seek to corrupt them with obscene material. Unfortunately, the veneer of civilization is rapidly disappearing, especially in Democrat-controlled states. For the sake of children and society, it is imperative that these horrific trends be reversed — fast. &nbsp;‍<a href="https://libertysentinel.org/author/admin/" id="">Alex Newman</a> is an award-winning international journalist, educator, author, and consultant who co-wrote the book “Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy America’s Children.” He writes for diverse publications in the United States and abroad.

NJ Democrats Protect 'Freedom' to Give Obscene Material to Children

Under current New Jersey law, giving obscene material to a minor is considered a felony of the third degree 

The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) was forced to cancel a volleyball match last week after its women’s team refused to play against the opposing team’s trans player.UNR was scheduled to play against San Jose State University (SJSU) on Saturday, October 26th. The right-side hitter for SJSU’s women’s volleyball team is Blaire Fleming, a man who reportedly claims to be transgender. His teammate, Brooke Slusser, says women on opposing teams are unable to “fully protect themselves” from Fleming’s spikes, which she estimates travel faster than 80 mph.Teams at several other universities have <a href="https://www.thegoldreport.com/news/fifth-womens-volleyball-team-refuses-to-play-against-trans-player" id="">refused</a> to play SJSU due to Fleming’s participation, but UNR administrators assured Outkick in early October that its team would not be one of them.<h2 id="">Athletes boycott match</h2>Evidently, the university had not checked with the players because the team put out a statement forfeiting the match."We, the University of Nevada Reno women’s volleyball team, forfeit against San Jose State University and stand united in solidarity with the volleyball teams of Southern Utah University, Boise State University, the University of Wyoming, and Utah State University,"&nbsp; the athletes wrote. "We demand that our right to safety and fair competition on the court be upheld. We refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes."&nbsp;<h2 id="">University turns against team</h2>The school responded with a statement of its own, saying the team made the decision “independently” and “without consultation with the University or the athletics department.” It affirmed its commitment to “equality of rights,” which it said included “gender identity,” and pledged to provide “an inclusive and supportive environment.”“The University intends to move forward with the match as scheduled, and the players may choose not to participate in the match on the day of the contest,” the university continued.<h2 id="">School backs down</h2>The players stood by their decision, however, and UNR was forced to cancel the game.“Due to not having enough players to compete, the University of Nevada women’s volleyball team will not play its scheduled Mountain West Conference match at San José State,” the university said in a statement last Thursday, two days before the match. “Per Mountain West Conference policy, the match will be recorded as a loss for Nevada.”UNR is the fifth university to refuse the play against SJSU over its male player. Earlier in October, Utah State University announced it was forfeiting its match against SJSU after Boise State, the University of Wyoming, and Southern Utah University did the same.<h2 id="">‘A movement is in motion’</h2>"When college athletes have to vote on whether to play the sport they received scholarships for, it’s a clear sign that the adults responsible for protecting them have failed," athlete and political activist Riley Gaines said about the University of Nevada’s decision. "I applaud these athletes for setting boundaries and prioritizing their safety over victory. They've shown far more courage and leadership than the president of the university and the President of this country.”Gaines and Slusser are suing the NCAA for its policy of allowing men on women’s teams.“A movement is in motion,” Gaines said after Utah State University pulled out of its match against SJSU. “It’s becoming increasingly clear that the NCAA has a decision to make. So far, the NCAA has prioritized inclusion over safety &amp; fairness. Will the @NCAA keep letting girls take matters into their own hands or will they step up &amp; protect their athletes?”The trend signals a possible change in women’s positive attitudes toward men in women’s sports, compared to attitudes from two years ago.<h2 id="">Women support men in women’s sports, surveys show</h2>According to a 2022 Pew Research <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2022/06/28/americans-complex-views-on-gender-identity-and-transgender-issues/" id="">poll</a>, 62% of women felt “there is a great deal or a fair amount of discrimination against transgender people.” Only 52% of men agreed. Women have also been more likely than men to say it is “extremely or very important” to use a person’s “new” name or “preferred pronouns.”Further surveys conducted in Western countries such as Australia, England, and Canada, also <a href="https://www.smh.com.au/sport/majority-of-female-athletes-support-the-inclusion-of-transgender-women-20220419-p5aehx.html" id="">found</a> that the majority of women athletes supported men competing in women’s sports and did not believe males hold an “unfair advantage” against females. Most men strongly disagree.‍‍
